A SPOKESWOMAN for the South African city of Cape Town says one person died after a scaffolding collapsed in high winds outside a Linkin Park concert, injuring 19 other people.

Spokesperson Kylie Hatton said a woman died after being taken to the hospital.

She said 19 people were injured, with 12 in hospital, after the temporary advertising structure collapsed outside the Cape Town Stadium in South Africa. Police are investigating.

The American rock band said in a statement: "We wish to express our deep sadness and concern for those injured and our heartfelt condolences to the family of the fan who died as a result of her injuries."

The band said they had no relationship with the sponsor or entity responsible for the structure.

The band will perform in Johannesburg on Nov. 10.
